Hey, Todd, it's your web site, so it's your call.

Personally? I'm not offended. Most likely, the kids won't be offended, either.
However, somewhere out there there's a stick-in-the-mud parent who would be
offended, and who would deprive a worthy kid of Lugnet over this. (As a parent
myself, I'm not totally insensitive to this issue. My four year-old has added
some interesting words to his vocabulary at preschool this year! And I don't
think that they're words he heard on television...)

Wasn't aware of it. O.K., followups are set there now.
